Why are you marking this a dupe of bug 100000? I assume that was a mistake.

Using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414,
Shockwave content plays fine (checked here:
http://sdc.shockwave.com/shockwave/download/triggerpages_mmcom/default.html)

It seems that the HTML code responsible for embedding the .swa file is
incorrect. It uses the src="" attribute in the <EMBED> tag to link to the .swa
file, but reading the support files on Macromedia's website
(http://www.macromedia.com/support/soundedit/how/shock/moviplay.html) suggest
that this is not the correct usage. The swURL="" attribute should be used instead.

I'd go ahead and mark this bug as INVALID, since its a problem with the HTML
code, not with Mozilla. But I don't have access to changing status, so someone
will have to do it for me.
